H1N1 Is Here In Malaysia!
KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — Malaysia has reported its first influenza A(H1N1) case involving a student who returned from the United States two days ago.
This was confirmed by Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai today.
“The student is now quarantined at the Sungai Buloh Hospital,” he told Bernama from London.
“The student returned to Malaysia on May 13 and the next day, he sought treatment when he felt unwell. The test confirmed that he has the H1N1 virus.”
Liow, enroute to Geneva, Switzerland to attend the World Health Organisation (WHO) General Assembly, was on transit in London.
He said health personnel were in the midst of tracking down all passengers on the student's flight and those who had come into contact with him since his return.
“This is urgent and all have to work together to prevent the spread of the disease in this country. We have initiated various preventive measures and the health department is working hard on the ground,” he said.
Liow also advised the public to be on high alert and immediately seek treatment if they feel unwell.
“The details of this first case will be given by the Health Ministry at a press conference at 4pm today,” he added. — Bernama

H1N1 amazingly highly pandemic. Chances of one catching this flu looking high. Like when your college got flu, you will also get flu. But remember that this is no ordinary flu and no, this is not from eating swine, so please don't waste that delicious bak kuh tea. Actually, there's another thing that we should know, that H1N1 is man made. Maybe biological weapon on test. Scary world we living in now!
I also hear that this virus is made by man and this group of people plan to bull down the share market by using this virus, however they fail to drop the share market.
I agree Malaysia Bak Kuh Tea is vary delicious.
Actually only Malaysia and Singapore have Bak Kuh Tea. Just like Vietnam Beef Rice Noodle. And Tok Yam to Thailand. Thank God i am Christian, Bak Kuh Teh is part of life for me!
